Background Chondrogenic differentiation describes how cartilage is formed from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Cells pass two morphological stages; first they differentiate into chondroblasts, which then mature into chondrocytes. Chondroblasts are responsible for the...
What is Cdk2 and why is it an attractive anti-cancer target? Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) plays an important role in the cell cycle, regulating the transition from the G1 phase where the cell grows and certain intracellular components (such as the centrosomes)...
Background Osteogenesis describes the process of bone formation. The cells that create new layers of bone tissue are called osteoblasts. These cells are differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), in a linear sequence. The dynamics of the morphological and...
We are delighted to announce FOUR exciting new articles featuring Nanolive live cell imaging. The articles come from users based in Poland, Switzerland, and Australia. Apoptosis as the main type of cell death induced by calcium electroporation in...
Mitochondrial transfer Studies have demonstrated that mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA can be transferred between cells, but the function of this, and the mechanisms involved in the transfer remain highly debated [1]. Some studies have shown that mitochondrial...
